The Top 3 remain unchanged this week meaning &#8216;Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare&#8217; (-21%) has now claimed 8 weeks at No1, equalling the total of &#8216;FIFA 15&#8217;.

Both &#8216;Grand Theft Auto V&#8217; (-23%) and &#8216;FIFA 15&#8217; (-11%) hold on to No&#8217;s 2 and 3 respectively, while &#8216;Assassin&#8217;s Creed: Unity&#8217; (+25%) jumps 4 places up to No4 thanks to several retailers promoting the PS4 version, whose ASP drops by £5 this week, down from £32 to £27. A non-mover at No5, &#8216;Minecraft: Xbox Edition&#8217; (+6%) remains ahead of the Playstation Edtion which manages to climb 3 places to No6, despite a 6% drop in sales.

&#8216;Destiny&#8217; (+15%) also jumps 3 places up the chart, moving back up to No7, its highest position since the first week of the year. &#8216;Call of Duty: Ghosts&#8217; (-16%) slips one place to No8, but still manages to leapfrog &#8216;Far Cry 4&#8217; (-21%) which falls 3 places to No9. Ubisoft return to 3 games in the Top 10 this week as &#8216;The Crew&#8217; (+5%) rejoins &#8216;Far Cry&#8217; and &#8216;Assassin&#8217;s Creed&#8217; in the Top 10, sneaking up one place from No11. No new titles break into the Top 40, however next week will see the launch of the highliy anticipated &#8216;Evolve&#8217; from 2K Games and the release of Nintendo&#8217;s New 3DS XL console.

GTA V current gen is amazing for so many different reasons, it's ridiculous to think 10 million copies of it have been shipped on top of the 35 million on last generation consoles. I don't think it's a stretch at all to say it will top out at 20 million on current gen and PC when all is said and done, particularly so if the next GTA is not announced soon which I doubt it will be.

I would be surprised if it got a sequel, the launch was a disaster. Sales seem to have been good in the UK, but I am sure this was down to bundling it with the PS4 and cutting the price. I picked it up new for under £20.

I think once GT is released on PS4 Sony will give up on the Driveclub IP. I would like to see the studio develop a new Motorstorm or get to work on the Wipout series, with what they have learned on the PS4 it could be something special.

Can it not be so simple as people don't find the games worth their while?
I know I got tired of the same* thing in GTA and didn't even look at 6 for more than a few seconds before going "meh, same thing". Then again I'm still kinda excited for Uncharted...so I reckon games with a story is a different beast. At least for me.

*the changes weren't significant enough for me to care...well at least those I saw.

Had a lot of talks with GfK and the SELL today. I tried to convince them to release a weekly top 5 by units instead of value, it could happen soon.
Also, looks like they plan to make something interesting with the 20th anniversary of the SELL. Maybe they will release an all-time top 10.

By the way, the japanese superior tracker is Media Create for GfK France.
